To;dr: The new cartridge has a very small pin size leak where the brass stem meets the plastic piece of the cartridge only when the water is running.
The handle on our shower has been difficult to turn for the past year. Well today it broke, so doing some researching I decided to shit off the water and get a replacement cartridge and handle to my shower.
I got the cartridge removal tool and was able to get the old one out pretty easily. Checks the valve housing and it was smooth. Opened the new one and added the grease to the rubber seals. Pushed the new one in and replaced the clip. Took maybe 10 minutes to remove the old one and install the new one.
After getting it installed, I turned on the water to the bathroom, and used a pair of pliers to turn the water on for the shower faucet. Low and behold it all is working, except after a few minutes of running through cold and hold water, I noticed a very small pin sized lead where the brass stem meets the plastic. When I turn the valve off it stops leaking.
I don’t think this is normal and I am not sure if the cartridge is bad or something else is the issue. Anyone have thoughts on what’s going on?
